About LauraBelle

I see this going either way. Slash could either be one of those guest mentors on American Idol where you just sit there after the show and facetiously say, “Yeah, that was helpful.” Or he could turn out to be really insightful when you don’t expect it, like Jamie Foxx last week. I agree with Simon that last week ended up being the best final five week ever. Can they keep that momentum going heading into tonight?
